SAYING THE WRONG THING

Calling into greggs,
A young girl served me tea.
A tea bag in a paper cup,
Is that's what's wrong in society.

I had to seek the milk,
There was none to see.
So I ended taken empty containers,
Just so I could have a cup of tea.

Going back to the counter,
A voluptuous blonde looks at me.
With a voice as smooth as silk,
My eyes didn't know where to look.
"Excuse me miss", I said.
"but your jugs are out of milk..."
